Kenya Foods

Kenya is always known for its wildlife safaris and mind-blowing landscapes. However, Kenyan Food is also the most delicious and unique one in Africa. Their dishes are available in a traditional way and are always filled with ethnicity. You will need to taste the food and some of the main dishes while on Kenya Safari Tours.

Here is the list of What Is The Most Popular Food in Kenya that you should try when you are in the country:

Ugali

Ugali is one of Kenya’s most common staple foods. Cornmeal is added to boiling water and cooked until a paste is formed. It is dense with a grainy dough-like consistency. This makes it the perfect accompaniment to the saucy stews and vegetables Kenyans eat it with.

Kenyan Pilau

Borrowed from Indian cuisine, Kenyan Pilau is a rice dish flavored with a variety of aromatic spices, such as cardamom, cinnamon, cumin, and cloves, and cooked in stock. It is often served with meat and fresh tomato and onions.

Sukuma Wiki

Sukuma Wiki is the Kenyan take on collard greens or kale. Greens are simmered with chopped tomato and onion and spiced with mchuzi mix (Kenyan flavoring salt). The Kenyan dish is made with a variety of leaves, including pumpkin and sweet potato leaves.

Nyama Choma

This is Kenya’s staple red meat dish. Nyama Choma is chevon or mutton flavored with a variety of spices and barbecued over an open fire. Because it is cooked over low heat, the meat is incredibly tender and flavourful. It is usually served with ugali and kachumbari (a fresh onion and tomato salad).

Kenyan Chapati

Drawing its roots from Indian cuisine, the Kenyan dish chapati is the staple bread choice for most meals. It is made with flour, salt, and oil. The addition of clarified butter gives it a more exotic, slightly sweeter taste.

Maharaja

This Kenyan dish is a delicious combination of red beans and red onions simmered in a rich sauce of coconut milk, tomato, and aromatic spices. Maharagwe is often eaten with ugali but can also be enjoyed with rice or chapati.
